You know what it is that you want, you're just afraid to admit it because you're afraid of failing. Fuck that. Fuck your fear. You know what you want, which is a hell of a lot more than most other people, so don't be afraid or ashamed, just go out and get it.
This is for you, even though you may think it isn't.

The majority of people are borderline sociopaths who'd step over your corpse to get a better parking space, and yet they won't hesitate to pass howling judgment on you if you screw up in even the most minute, insignificant way.
Just one more reason to not screw up.
Ever.

I'm going to own a huge house, that will be filled with love, warmth, laughter, joy, peace, and killer interior design. And each holiday is going to be festive.
I'm going to travel the world and release parts of myself at each destination, walking away having gained more than I released.
I'm going to write, paint, draw, read, explore, enjoy life daily and break down everything I created in peaceful harmony.
I'm going to live a life of love, warmth, laughter, joy, and peace.
I will have a "Beauty and the Beast" library.
I will have a killer wardrobe with matching shoes, bags, and accessories.
I will have a family of my own who will truly love one another and live a life of love, where their foundation will be Christ centered.
I will fly.
I will be set free.
I think I’ve always wanted a special person to save me.
They say beggars can’t be choosers, but I beg to differ. I’ve always given myself choices, even if there are only alternatives. People have said that I’m a narcissist because I love myself enough to always have two options laid out for my own self-interests even when I was pushed into a corner, but it’s not like I’ve ever cared about what they said, regardless of whether or not they speak the truth. I like having control over my own life—and that is another decision.
So this person had to be special. Someone who was unlike anyone I had ever met before. I had to choose him or her carefully, and this meant I had to go about the trial-and-error method. What came to be was a bunch of hurt and pain on my side, but I wouldn’t say it was unnecessary. It prepared me for the very worst, of course.
All I needed had been a little hope—a little faith.
I think we both realized in the very end what I had been searching for.
Not someone radically different. Not someone absolutely extraordinary. Not someone easily attainable.
You were only me in another container.
